My support contacts to keep handy
Choose up to three people or services you want to reach easily. A short list is enough. Keep the fuller support map if you need more contacts.
SAMHSA suggests asking specifically for the support you want, such as a conversation, help finding a professional, appointment help or a ride. Ask each person what they can offer and how they prefer to be contacted. [1]
Original example: Morgan agreed to a call after dinner. If unavailable, I will ask another chosen person. A saved number alone does not confirm availability.
Keep completed notes private. Save a copy before leaving this page. You can leave any box blank. Notes are not sent to AddictionHelp or saved automatically. Closing or reloading this page can lose them. The PDF is one page. Printing longer web notes may use more pages.
Name and contact method. What they agreed to help with and when. What I will do if they are unavailable.

This is an original contact organizer, not a crisis plan or a promise that a contact can respond immediately. If your care team has given urgent-contact instructions, keep those accessible alongside it. Store completed copies privately.
